Larryw7 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I'd say horror. And pretty gruesome horror. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the covers on your run you’ve posted, it seems even the publisher wasn’t quite sure either. On some they have Suspense Stories larger than the Law Breakers indicating a slant towards horror, then on others the LB gets larger emphasizing crime. I only have two issues of this title but I’d consider it a perfect blend of the two. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publisher most likely taking advantage of the popularity of both genres at the time. #10 started the current run of "Lawbreakers Suspense Stories" from "Lawbreakers" I believe and then after #16 they went to more horror and dropped "Lawbreakers" from the title and became "Strange Suspense Stories". Although #11 is already about as horrific as a cover can get. Edited July 2, 2021 by Mr.Fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My list is getting shorter and shorter. Got a few ECs, Avon, ACG and Star horror issues to go. Also need a Venus #17,18,19 and Chamber of Chills #19 which aren't likely to happen.

I'm still chasing a few books but mostly feel like a spectator watching books go for what I consider crazy prices.( and in most cases not willing to pay.)

Yes, most definitely. I think Charlton bought out the title from Fawcett and discontinued "Lawbreakers" which was more of a crime/horror mix. However they started the numbering from the end of the Lawbreakers run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fifties Posted July 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2021 I noticed the trend in the early '50's veering away from crime, and toward horror. There seems to have been a number of crossover titles, mixing both genres. Sarg, Jayman, Mr. Lady Luck and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
